Abstract
VALUABLE research in biological fishery problems is being carried out by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, Commonwealth of Australia. The primary objective of the current investigation* is to obtain a well-founded estimate of the pelagic fishery resources of Australian waters, and in this is included oceanographical work concerned with changes in currents and water conditions generally, together with their effect on the amount and distribution of plankton. Roughly speaking, the course of the fisheries varies according to the ever-varying conditions of the sea. The report on the pelagic Tunicata is of importance as the members of this group serve as indicators of changing oceanographical conditions which affect the course of the fishery.
